Phoenix vs Rockets, 31st Match at Nottingham, Men's Hundred, Aug 27 2025 - Match Result

And Cox has won it! The man called up because of a technical quirk has taken Rockets over the line in their last home match! Full, outside off, steps across and sweeps powerfully between deep square and deep midwicket. The Midlands has one champion, and it's Phoenix, who will go into this weekend angling for the whole thing!

Charges down, meets a length delivery and calls two immediately as he works to midwicket... and gets them!

Mid-crease, skidding through, Cox misses the sweep! Shorter, wider, out of Cox's reach

Reverses straight away as Bethell starts full outside off, aerial to short third but bounces short and spins enough to make an awkward take for Chris Wood to allow a single

Huge for Phoenix! Hain decides to go for it off this delivery... but his slog sweep finds Howell on the deep midwicket fence!

Full on middle again, conventionally swept this time... out to deep square. Another brave shot from Cox, but he's picked that well

Flighted, low full toss in the end, worked out to deep cover

Full on middle stump, courageous reverse dab, out the middle, doesn't beat third but keeps the score ticking down with the balls...

Tight to the stumps, full on middle and leg, Hain, having made room to leg, drives crisply down to wide long off

Bumper, Cox ducks under

Brilliant from Cox! Tha gap was there behind square, and when Wood goes full, Cox shifts across and laps over his shoulder

Cutter, pitches outside leg stump which makes the contact in front of the stumps redundant, single turned down

Very loopy, 69mph, lifted out to midwicket... and incredibly work to get two when that barely left the ring! A direct hit from Smeed would have found Hain short of the bowler's end, but they make it safely in the end!

Starts with pace off around the wicket of course, into the top of middle, worked out to square leg

Wide of leg stump, dabbed fine with ease for a couple down to long leg

Tight to the stumps, full outside off, Hain misses the reverse sweep that would have run away for four with any connection

Full on leg stump, swept away well out to Mousley, at that finer backward square leg position

Full-ish, on middle stump, 56mph, worked nicely late into midwicket

Full, length, flicked out to midwicket where the deep fielder sprints in to keep them to one

Flighted up, on off stump, opens the face into a defensive shot and banks one to point
